MISSION STATEMENT
UMIT stands at the forefront of specialized medical imaging, leading innovation in Nuclear Medicine and Radiology. Our mission is to harness advanced imaging and therapeutic technologies to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases affecting patients in South Africa and beyond.
As an active and dedicated clinical department, we are committed to delivering world-class imaging and therapy services, ensuring every patient receives care that is precise, personalized, and compassionate.
THERAGNOSTICS
Theragnostics is an innovative approach that combines diagnosis and treatment in one process. It uses special imaging tools to find where a disease is in the body and then applies a matching therapy to target it directly. This means care that’s more precise, more personal, and often gentler for patients.
FAPI THERAPY
Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor (FAPI) Therapy represents a cutting-edge approach to cancer diagnosis and treatment. By targeting fibroblast activation protein, which is overexpressed in many tumors, FAPI compounds enable precise imaging and deliver therapeutic agents directly to cancerous tissues. This breakthrough offers improved tumor visualization, reduced toxicity, and enhanced treatment outcomes for patients.
INFECTION/ INFLAMMATION
Infection and inflammation imaging helps doctors see where infections or inflammatory processes are active in the body. Using advanced imaging techniques, specialists can detect areas of concern early, monitor how the body responds to treatment, and guide care with greater accuracy. This approach supports faster diagnosis, more effective therapy, and better overall recovery.
